Gunman fired on police, then walked out of home to end Benbrook standoff

A gunman who fired on authorities held police at bay for more than 11 hours Wednesday before he and his girlfriend walked out of a residence, police said Thursday.

No injuries were reported in the standoff, which ended about 10 p.m. Wednesday.

The suspect, identified by police as Cameron G. Little, 28, faces charges of aggravated assault against a public servant and unlawful restraint. He also had two arrest warrants from Johnson County, but details on those were not released.

Officers went to Little’s home about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on Greenview Court to serve the warrants, but he refused to surrender.
